Named President

Litton Industries

Fred W. O'Green has been named president and chief operating of- ficer of Litton Industries. The an- nouncement was made by Charles

B. Thornton, chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Lit- ton.

Mr. O'Green, who is a director of Litton, has been an executive vice president with responsibility for navigation and control sys- tems, communications and elec- tronic data systems, marine engi- neering and production and elec- tronic components.

He succeeds Roy L. Ash, who resigned December 9 to join the staff of President Richard Nixon as assistant to the President and director of the Office of Manage- ment and Budget.

In announcing the new Litton president, Mr. Thornton said: "Fred O'Green brings to the job a proven record of over 20 years of broad operating management ex- perience, more than half of which has been at Litton in division and group management positions with increasing responsibility. We plan to work closely together as a team with the other members of Litton's senior executive management to build a bigger, stronger and more profitable operating company in the coming years."
